Not many people know this, but finding bombs is actually quite easy. This is due to how loud they are

[–] jonathan7luke@lemmy.zip 11 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe that's why it says, "at first." They couldn't find it until it got loud. :)

Hmm... is it still a bomb after detention? 🤔

A broken car is still a car but what if a car exploded in to pieces, would it still be referred to as a car or something like car pieces or fragments?

[–] BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

I think it depends if the remaining pieces are at all identifiable as the original thing. If the blown up car still has four wheels and a motor, you'd probably call it a blown up car. If it's been reduced to tiny fragments of metal and glass and rubber it'd just be debris.

What? Speak up

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Did you actually find this irl?

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Yep. I'm on the edge about uploading a screenshot, but it would be safe to say it happened in the first hour of going into Intermediate English course and saying I'm 100% proficient in it. It occured to me in the third three lessons after that I believe. In this exact task it asked me to pronounce what the boy says and I cropped out my notifications bar and the lower part of the screen. It was in the app, so I couldn't have done any edits on the site, only after that.

  1. That's fucked
  2. Definitely report that or bring it up with them.
  3. See if your local library can offer mango for free, it's a language program that doesn't use ai to as a main staple in their service. Then
  4. Ditch Duolingo.
[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

I'd look into how I can report that, and also in probable alternatives, thanks.

Feel free to do it. I think that most of people already saw it here. But if I find something like that, it'd be better to share a compilation of several cases at once.

[–] Una@europe.pub 5 points 3 weeks ago

It was my fault, I ate the bomb :3

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

That owl is playing Counter Strike, isn't it?

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

People still use DuoLingo? Why not learn a language properly?

[–] MumboJumbo@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What free online courses would you suggest? Honest question

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It depends on the language, but generally, use anki decks, study grammar (you can often find free grammar resources online) and read/watch/listen to content in the target language. Having a course for the basics helps but often good options heavily depend on the language

Eventually, you can start trying to communicate with other speakers, either online (via text chats/voice chats) or IRL if that's possible
